  • Patent number: 11971149
    Abstract: Sunlight incident in a lamp through a lens is prevented from being collected on a portion formed between a front end of a reflector and a lens holding frame through an opening formed in front of the portion. A vehicle lamp includes a light emitting portion, a lens that projects light emitted from the light emitting portion, a reflector including a first reflective surface that reflects light emitted from the light emitting portion toward the lens, an opening formed between a front end of the reflector and a frame, the frame that holds the lens, and a second reflective surface that is formed between the front end of the reflector and the frame, and reflects external light incident in the vehicle lamp through the lens.

  • Patent number: 8579484
    Abstract: The vehicle lighting device includes a heat sink, a light emitting element, a reflection plate, and a light leakage processing plate. The light leakage processing plate is disposed at a peripheral edge part on a side of the first direction of the reflection plate, and is configured so as to scatter light leakage that is not reflected on the reflection plate from among beams of the light from the light emitting element. The light leakage processing plate is disposed so as to have a gap T with respect to the peripheral edge part of the reflection plate, and is configured so as to be extended over the peripheral edge part of the reflection plate on a side of the second direction and on a side of an opposite direction to the second direction.

  • Publication number: 20110286231
    Abstract: It is important to securely fix a semiconductor-type light source 2 to a holding member 3 by means of a mount member 4 or a screw 5 so as to be durable against vibration of a vehicle. A vehicle lighting device according to the present invention is comprised of the semiconductor-type light source 2, the holding member 3, the mount member 4, and the screw 5. The semiconductor-type light source 2 is comprised of a board 20 and a main body. A placement face 30 on which the semiconductor-type light source 2 is to be placed is provided at the holding member 3. An opening portion 400 is provided at a site which corresponds to the board 20 of the semiconductor-type light source 2 of the mount member 4. A presser face 401 which is adapted to press the semiconductor-type light source 2 against the holding member 3 is provided at a circumferential edge part of the opening portion 400 of the mount member 4.

  • Patent number: 7972049
    Abstract: A vehicle lighting device is provided, and includes a mount member, a semiconductor-type light source, a reflector, and screws. Mounting boss portions in which the screws are to be threaded are provided at the mount member. At the reflector, through holes into which the screws are to be inserted are provided for the mounting boss portions. A hollow axle portion, which rotatably engages with one of the mounting boss portions from the outside, is provided at an edge of one of the through holes of the reflector. As a result, this vehicle lighting device allows the reflector to be mounted on the mount member having the semiconductor-type light source mounted thereon, without the semiconductor-type light source and the reflector interfering with each other.
